Knut the Cute Panda Killing Polar Bear received a death threat on Wednesday, which was later believed to be a hoax.

“Why would anyone try to kill mich? Ich bin so damn key-ute! Do you want to know a secret? Ich sent the death threat fax myself. Ich bin such a clever boy! Who loves attention and has got two white paws? This polar bear. Shhh! If you know what’s good for you, keep your mouth shut, or you’ll wind up in der Spree just like Yan Yan the Panda. Whee! Look at me! Ich bin adorable!”
